Eddie Hearn has challenge David Price to show he can be a big-stage contender when he fights in Cardiff on Saturday.

Price will take on Russian heavyweight Alexander Povetkin, on the undercard of Anthony Joshua's clash with Joseph Parker.

Promoter Hearn said in Cardiff on Thursday: "What a heavyweight fight we have between David Price and Povetkin. A chance for Price to come out of the shadows."

Price added: "I carry the power, but I have also got an undulating skill set. I am going in there to give everything I have got.

"I am desperate to win. Losing is not an option. I need to embrace the occasion."
